Li Danyang, who was taking a nap on the bed, suddenly frowned, screamed, and then woke up from her dream. She covered her chest and gasped heavily, still feeling the pain and sadness from the dream.
When she regained consciousness, she found that she was not in the small house her son rented in the village in the city, but in a simple mud house. She looked at the room with old newspapers in front of her and felt that it looked familiar, but she could not remember where it was.
Suddenly she looked out of the window and saw a lush locust tree about three meters high in the yard. Her eyes widened in surprise. Isn't this her parents' home before she got married
She remembered that the locust tree outside the window was cut down and made into tables, chairs and boxes as her dowry when she got married.
Now that the locust tree is still there, does that mean she is still unmarried? Li Danyang was so excited that her breathing became rapid. She hurriedly looked around the room she was in, and then carefully looked at her still smooth and young skin. As if she understood something, she covered her mouth with both hands, crying and laughing, excited like a madman.
Is she back to her youth? Back to the time before she married Wei Shaocheng, before she gave birth to his child, before he abandoned her in the countryside, when nothing had happened
Li Danyang cried with tears all over her face. She pinched her arm hard and it hurt. But the pain made her feel at ease. She was really back!
God really heard her request and let her go back to the time when she had not made the worst choice, allowing her to live again!
She ran to her father's room and found the carefully put away calendar. She realized that it was only the summer of 1970. She was just dating Wei Shaocheng and had not yet married him. Everything was still in time and nothing had happened yet...
Li Danyang was extremely grateful to God for allowing her to be reborn and return to this time, because this autumn, she would hint to Wei Shaocheng to come to her home to propose marriage, and even if her family opposed it, she would marry without hesitation, and then begin her miserable life.
In 1970 of her previous life, she married Wei Shaocheng, whom she thought was her good man, and gave birth to a child the following year.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When the child was five years old, the country resumed the college entrance examination. Wei Shaocheng used sweet words to get his family to agree to let him take the exam. However, after he passed the exam, he disappeared and no news was heard from him again. She and her son were left abandoned and overwhelmed by the ridicule and rumors in the village.
She thought Wei Shaocheng would come back to take her and her son to the city to enjoy a good life. Unfortunately, she waited for decades, raised her son with great difficulty, but Wei Shaocheng still did not come back.
When his son grew up, he went to the city to work, but because he had no education, he could only do hard labor and earn a meager amount of hard-earned money. He then married a wife who also came from a poor family. After his grandson was born, in order to save money, Li Danyang followed him to the city to take care of his grandson.
Unfortunately, she and her daughter-in-law did not get along. They quarreled all day long and lived a miserable life. She fainted after a big quarrel with her daughter-in-law over the matter of grandson. Unexpectedly, when she woke up, she found herself back to her youth.
She has not yet been wrinkled by the hardships of life... Li Danyang ran out of the yard happily, and felt that the scorching sun was particularly lovely and the hot air was particularly fresh.
Just as she was feeling her young and agile body, she suddenly saw Aunt Zhou passing by her house. Aunt Zhou was still young and able to work, and had not yet been driven out of the house by her two unfilial children and lay on the roadside waiting to die...
When Li Danyang thought of this, he suddenly shuddered, remembering that Aunt Zhou was a matchmaker when she was young. The thing she was most proud of in her life was that she facilitated the marriage between Gu Shichu and Zhou Weiguo, because they would be the most enviable couple in Zhoujia Village in the future, and their children would all be promising, successful and filial.
Li Danyang's eyes suddenly widened, her heart so excited that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her chest. Thinking of that possibility, she couldn't help but come up with a bold idea.
But she managed to hold it back, pretending to be calm, and asked Aunt Zhou casually, "Aunt Zhou, where have you been in this hot weather?"
Aunt Zhou said in a bad tone, "Where else could I go? I just went to see the girl from the Gu family at the end of the village! Her father just passed away, and I went to see her, fearing that something might happen to her. I didn't expect that she was doing well."
Li Danyang's heart skipped a beat. Aunt Zhou was indeed going to see Gu Shichu! However, she saw that Aunt Zhou's face was not very good. It was obvious that she did not encounter any happy things when she went to see Gu Shichu this time.
"What can we do? She is the only one left in her family now, what will she do?" Li Danyang pretended to be worried, as if he was really concerned about Gu Shichu, and asked tentatively, "It would be great if she got married, so that she would have someone to take care of her."
After saying this, she carefully looked at Aunt Zhou's expression.
When Aunt Zhou heard her words, she snorted coldly, "It's a pity that she has her own ideas. She won't even want to be introduced to a good man!"
Li Danyang held his breath and asked casually, "Which one did you introduce to her?"
"Isn't it Zhou Weiguo from the village? Zhou Weiguo's wife died at the beginning of the year, leaving behind four children. So pitiful, tut tut..." Aunt Zhou was very angry with Gu Shichu, and when Li Danyang asked, she blurted it out without caring that Li Danyang was still an unmarried girl and it was inappropriate to say these things to her.
"Zhou Weiguo works as a worker in a firecracker factory in the city. He gets paid every month, which is enough to support his family. Besides, Zhou Weiguo is also good-looking, tall and strong. I don't know why the girl from the Gu family doesn't like him...
As for having four children, she would become a stepmother once she got married? That was nothing. The children in our village were all raised freely and grew up in the wind. How could it be hard for her
She didn't think about it. If she didn't have four children, how could Zhou Weiguo, who was so well-off, fall in love with an orphan like her who didn't even have a dowry?"
Aunt Zhou avoided the main point and talked about it in a way that was easy for her to say, saying that Gu Shichu was too picky and arrogant, and that she was not lucky enough to marry into the Zhou family and enjoy a good life. However, she lightly glossed over the most important point of being a stepmother of four children.
Li Danyang was so happy that he almost jumped up. Gu Shichu didn't think highly of Zhou Weiguo. If she liked him, how would he have a chance
That's right, Li Danyang wanted to replace Gu Shichu, marry Zhou Weiguo, and become the stepmother of four children who would become successful in the future, waiting to enjoy a peaceful life. She no longer wanted to work hard like in her previous life, supporting the family alone and never having a good day until she was old.
As for why Gu Shichu, who was originally going to marry Zhou Weiguo, did not agree to this marriage in this life? Li Danyang did not think too much about it. She thought that Gu Shichu in her previous life also refused at first, and finally agreed to marry Zhou Weiguo after considering for a long time.
